Your external attack surface is bigger than you think, and probably bigger than it was last quarter. Cloud sprawl, third-party integrations, abandoned subdomains, and shadow IT all add up to an internet-facing footprint that’s hard to track manually. External attack surface management (EASM) tools give security teams continuous visibility over that footprint, from the same vantage point an attacker would use.

Welcome to vulnerability management's big bang. If it feels like your security team is running a marathon on a treadmill set to a permanent incline of 12.0 with 50lb sandbags tied around each ankle, you're in good company. We have officially entered the era of the Great Vulnerability Acceleration. To put this recent synthetic bloom into perspective, consider this: in the last five years, the cybersecurity community has identified and recorded over 150,000 new vulnerabilities.

As large language models (LLMs) become more embedded in business operations, the risks and attack methods targeting them are evolving just as quickly. The 2025 edition of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications reflects this rapid evolution, addressing the current threats facing generative AI systems in production environments. For organizations investing in LLMs, understanding the risks is crucial for deploying these systems securely.

Vulnerability remediation is the process of fixing and validating security flaws in systems, applications, or infrastructure using patches, configuration changes, or compensating controls after they are identified and prioritized.

Vulnerability scanning gives security teams a starting point, but it has never been the whole picture. Scan results capture known CVEs across applications and systems, yet they say nothing about whether a given weakness is actually reachable, whether the controls around it are functioning correctly, or whether the people with access to it represent a meaningful risk. Exposure management addresses all of that.

AI Pentesting is having a moment. Well, several moments, actually. Every other week, another vendor announces something, or another LLM-driven pentesting tool tops some benchmark on a target nobody's heard of, another deck claims a new "gold standard" being disrupted, at long last... It's been busy.

Don't wait for KEV listing Waiting for CISA KEV may be too late. Across six months of Nucleus research, public PoCs gave defenders a median 5.5 days of runway before KEV listing, every single time.
